I usually get a call about once a week, but it just rings and then ends right away. Feels like it’s probably some sort of scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Go Compare, wanted to talk about some billing stuff. Thing is, I've never even used Go Compare, so I’ve got no clue how they ended up with my number.

This old bank scam is still targeting people who aren’t aware. The number it comes from changes all the time, so each scam text shows a different caller ID. That’s why it’s REALLY important to report every single text you get like this. Just send them over to 7726. Make sure to watch out for a reply in case they ask you to confirm anything. You can find more details by searching ‘7726’ and the email '[email protected]' about how to report suspicious texts, calls, and emails. Don’t let others handle the reporting – it takes lots of complaints for action to happen. Especially with the numbers swapping around but the contact details staying the same.

Got another call from Kirkcaldy, totally spammy so I just ignored it.

I saw it was showing up as DQ Dating, so I just went ahead and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from +44 20 3996 4930, didn't leave any voicemail, felt like one of those annoying spam calls. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Ring claiming to be from the DWP, just a total scam trying to make a quick buck. Complete waste of time!

Got a call from an unfamiliar number but no voicemail was left – probably just another typical scam.

Got a message saying it was Barclays, telling me to use a code to finish a payment for Knight Flooring. It also had a number to ring if I hadn’t made the purchase. It came through on my work phone, so I know it’s nothing to do with me. Totally a scam.

I picked up the call but kept quiet, just listened until it hung up on its own.

I didn’t pick up cos I thought this random number might be dodgy. Just checked it out afterwards and came across this site.

Got a call from a guy who said he was with Domestic and General, sounds like he was Indian. He began asking me for my bank info but as soon as I told him I never give out such details on calls, he just hung up. Really dodgy.

Got a call earlier that I didn’t answer. Even though I’m on the TPS list, these annoying calls still manage to get past!

My phone didn’t ring at all but I checked my voicemail and there was just a blank message saved there, no idea what that was about.

I let it ring out and then blocked the number. Most likely just another annoying spam call.

Got a call from someone called Samuel Joseph saying he was with British Gas. He said my meter serial number didn’t match the one on my bill or something like that. I get loads of these calls from people pretending to be from British Gas but they never seem legit. I never share any details and always ring British Gas myself to check if it’s real – about 90% of the time it turns out it’s a scam.

I picked up when they rang, but as soon as I said hello, they just disconnected. Tried ringing them back a few times, but still no luck getting through to anyone.

Got a call claiming to be from Argos, telling me to get in touch with their fraud team. Don’t bother calling back.

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she was from the "social housing repairs team". I don't even live in social housing and definitely don't require any repairs. I said that to her and then ended the call straight away. Feels like some kind of scam to me.

My phone flagged the call as spam, yet it still ended up in my voicemail. I could hear a lot of chatter in the background, like from a call centre, but they didn’t leave any message at all.

Got a voicemail saying it was from Clarion Housing, but luckily my phone blocks most calls so they didn’t get through.

Total con! I just blocked the caller and flagged the number straight away.

When the number showed up as a nuisance call, I just answered without saying a word. They ended the call straight away! I've blocked the number now. It's a UK landline, which is quite misleading!

I got a call about life insurance, but I already told them I’m fine, cheers. They went on to explain why they were ringing, trying to sell me one. I just told them I’m all sorted and thanked them for ringing me haha.

Someone rang me saying they were from the EPC and that my loft insulation wasn't up to standard. I just ended the call straight away.
